Phytosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using L. Extracts.

The present work describes, for the first time in the literature, the phytosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using L. extracts. The influence of the extraction method (classical temperature extraction and microwave extraction), as well as of the extract concentration on the characteristics of the nanoparticles, was studied using analytical methods, such as UV-Vis spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy.
